The Chattanooga man who confessed Monday to killing 37-year-old Jillena Orr — a woman once charged with murder herself — is a former corrections officer for the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Department, records show.
Police officials said they have no indication that Floyd H. Goodwin and the victim knew each other before the crime.
Lt. Tim Carroll, head of the Chattanooga Police Department’s major crimes division, said Tuesday that he was unsure of the exact relationship between Ms. Orr and Mr. Goodwin.
He said investigations in the case have been completed, but he declined to describe what police think may be the circumstances of the crime.
